Changes

This release improves pattern matching and mathematical transformation rules by allowing patterns to match arbitrary functions. There is a new "symbolic mode" which suppresses some types of errors that would be desirable when running normal programs. An experimental standalone Windows executable is now available. In addition, there are several new options available for formatting numerical values.
